The wheels of time roll ever-forward. So, how goes the release of MKIV from Privateer Press for Warmachine/Hordes? That's exactly what we get a look at in this new progress report from the company.

From the article:

Whether it’s waiting as a child for Christmas morning or waiting as a business for goods to arrive that will allow orders to start shipping, the phenomenon that increases a perceived length of time in direct proportion to one’s anticipation of an event doesn’t get any less agonizing with age or experience. But one way to avoid the ordeal is to stay immersed in work, and we have a never-ending supply of that here! So, even as the wait continues, so does our progress on all things related to WARMACHINE MKIV.

This week, a sudden snowstorm did its best to delay our efforts, shutting down production for a day and knocking out power, which slowed development on the app. We had hoped to have the library functions and rules integrated into the WARMACHINE app this week, but we have had to push it off once again to next week after determining that some revisions of graphics would be required to function properly with the responsive display across the myriad of devices that will be running the app. Fortunately, in going through this revision, we’re future-proofing the rules for easier localization in other languages once we’re able to begin that process next year. We did manage to get out several new builds for the app over the past few days, though, so if you haven’t updated recently, be sure to do so.

Friday! Woo! It's the first week back after a vacation for me and it wasn't that bad. Though, my next couple weeks are now looking like they're going to be absolutely slammed busy until the end of the year. So, if I'm going to have the energy to get through it all, I need to nosh on some bite-sized gaming stories. Today on the platter we have:

Games Workshop Previews New Space Marine Upgrade Kits

Roboute Guilliman is a Primarch versed not just in the intricacies of war, but in the fine details of day-to-day life. You’d never ask Angron to sort out a municipal problem, or expect the Khan to retrain bikers into administrators.

Ensuring that your squads of Ultramarines are equipped with the (appropriate and properly regulated) finery of Ultramar is a matter of utmost importance – you must practise what you preach, which will be made even easier with these upcoming Made to Order kits.

Wizard's Crystal Dice II Up On Kickstarter

Brand new materials and crafts. This time, we use only natural gems and stones as materials and replace the previous craft of resin-casting with cutting and grinding. The new craft has the obvious advantage of avoiding uneven corners and protruding parts. All you can see are shiny surfaces, and each dice is identical to the other.

Dicebound Volume 3: Mystic Up On Kickstarter

These unique designs are expertly crafted with a mirror-like polish and stunning inclusions; all packaged in our custom mystic codex box.

We designed this collection to look like trinkets you’d find on an ancient Wizards' shelf!

Keith Baker, the creator of the Eberron setting for Dungeons & Dragons, has a new sourcebook out that further expands the world. It's called Chronicles of Eberron and it's got a bit of everything. New lore, new rules, new mechanics, and more. You can head over and order your copy of this book now (my DM already has).

From the website:

Join Eberron setting creator Keith Baker for another journey across the realms of Eberron, from the trackless void of the Astral Plane to the unknown depths of the Barren Sea. Chronicles of Eberron takes a deeper dive into Keith’s vision of Eberron, with expanded mechanics and detailed illustrations that bring the world to life.

This companion to Exploring Eberron contains lore and new options for players and Dungeon Masters alike. Play a Tairnadal champion with the Oath of Veneration, explore the mysteries of the Dark Six with the Aspiration Domain, or—if you dare—wield the forbidden magic of the Shadow. Learn more about the nobility of Khorvaire, the people of Riedra, and the stormsingers of Lorghalan. Face deadly new foes, from the daelkyr Avassh and Mordain the Fleshweaver to the infamous Grim Lords of Farlnen!

In addition to delving into hidden corners of the world, Chronicles of Eberron provides broad guidance useful for any Eberron campaign. What does the average person from Khorvaire actually know about the Draconic Prophecy? What's the best way to start a new Eberron campaign? How can you add more flavor to a long journey, and how do you challenge high-level characters? The answers to these questions and more lie within this tome, wrested at great risk from the Library of Ashtakala. Eberron awaits!

The battlefields of WWII were already pretty deadly before the aliens showed up. With the Vatari joining the Axis and the Skarn joining the Allies, the fate of planet Earth hangs in the balance. That's the story behind Exo Alliance '42, a new alternate-history miniatures game coming next year from Seb Games.

From the announcement:

December 1941, UFOs join the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour bringing the USA into WWII. The Axis powers have a new member, aliens called Vatari, fleeing a dying world, and hailed by the Third Reich as the true master race. The newcomers threaten to turn the tide of the war, but shortly thereafter, the fall of the Allies is averted by the arrival of a second alien species, the Skarn, mortal enemies of the Vatari, who are also fleeing the same dying planet.

The stage is set. Will the Vatari, with their advanced Vril technology, change the course of history, or will the numerically superior Skarn help save the day?

Coming in 2023, Exo Alliance ‘42 is a platoon level tabletop wargame and miniatures range for 28mm scale. The rules allow you to add alien troops and vehicles to the historical units of World War II, and fight fast paced battles with these unique forces.
